This may the most sensible post I've ever read on this forum and I’ve read more than a few.

I’m always amazed at people who seem to get inexplicable excited about exploding population growth; merging metro regions etc.... It boggles the mind.

I think we can all agree that there are tangible benefits to urbanization and densification and to a point, population migration and growth can help with that. But growth has to be planned and managed or it will just be a hellish place no matter where it is.
